Elizabeth Pothier

Elizabeth Pothier is a licensed mental health counselor and registered art therapist dedicated to enriching the lives of children and teens. Her approach intertwines the dynamic of talk therapy with the engaging world of visual art, allowing her clients to express themselves and reflect on their experiences creatively. By employing a person-centered methodology, Elizabeth focuses on the unique needs and strengths of each individual, guiding them on a journey of self-exploration and growth. She fosters a nurturing environment that promotes mental health, social-emotional skills, and overall well-being, while adeptly addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. Elizabeth’s expertise spans a variety of therapeutic techniques, including mindfulness-based approaches, expressive arts, and cognitive behavioral therapy, ensuring a holistic and comprehensive strategy tailored to each client’s therapeutic goals. Importantly, children and teens can engage in art therapy without prior artistic skills; the emphasis is on the process of creation rather than the final product, proving that creative engagement can be both therapeutic and healing. For those who prefer a more traditional therapeutic approach, she also offers conventional talk therapy options.
